making sure shoulder pieces of all armor types fit right on their bodies
creating lore/designing female ogres (i have heard rumor that this is the reason why ogre has not and probably will not happen. too hard to strike a balance between properly monstrous and conventionally attractive while still adhering to the ogre aesthetic. and as far as lore goes we know there are lady ogres but have thus far never been seen, and presumably enjoy equal status to their male counterparts within their societies but other than that it is unknown if women fulfill any other special role or function in ogre society)
other lore bits, i guess? (most ogres are presented as being unintelligent brutes and this shows through in their voice acting, sounding vaguely what the voice director/actor might think an intellectually disabled person might sound like)
like i think they could make all of those parts work but it just seems like a lot of effort compared to a more bulkier looking orc with ogre features. rexxar is the only one weāve seen with a unique model so it stands to reason thereās a lot of things they could do to really sell the idea of your character being of mixed heritage
I would rather they just retcon a tauren sized ogre ethnicity or something.
Just make a new skeletonā¦ Blizzard has the technology, just not the willingness.
For an extremely long amount of time nobody played dwarf orc or tauren females (unless you were on a roleplaying server) and after BC troll females became exceedingly rare. This is a non-issue, let them be ugly.
Iāve never heard anyone complain about this. This could be easily fixed by ignoring it and not capitulating to a very microscopic amount of whiners.
Also theres highmaul ogres to go off of, who speak in a more intelligent way, again Blizzard could write whatever lore they want, in exiles reach thereās highmaul architecture which is no where else on Azeroth, perhaps this could be used as a basis that a group of more intelligent (but still stupid) ogres retaining the highmaul culture came over before the dark portal was closed. Azeroth already has a insane amount of ogres on it, so itās not that big of a leap in logic.
MokāNakthal would be such a welcome sight on the Hordeā¦ and they could add the CC option to add bellies and maybe even a āMages 3rd eyeā for does who want to role play as Ogre or more into their Ogre heritage themeā¦
Intro story could even be as simple as; āSince we have a Horde Council and there this armistice where we are more busy saving Azeroth than fighting each other, Rexxar decided it be a good time to join in with his Clanā (IMO)
I canāt speak for other players but I KNOW my brother would LOVE if he could create a Half-Ogre like Rexxar! The only thing he would love more would be the adding of Forest Trollsā¦ he has always said he love to play Hulking muscle Troll like those he seen since early in WoW.
The Horde at least get a debuff that theyāre not trusted and are heavily watched.
Not to mention they canāt use any of the portals there.
I suspect if Silvermoon becomes neutral ā Itād be far MORE neutral than even Belāameth is. And whatās sad is that even with that ā The fanatical āAlliance-only-High-Elvesā crowd will demand more regardless.
I dont really get why peoples are so triggered about that one, the Horde did help to have Belāameth exist, you can tell me that Teldrasil was burned by the Horde, but that was the will of a mad warchief and they made amand for it.
Haha, but you know it will happen, that Silvermoon will be the neutral hub of Midnight, everyone know it!
But to me, its the same as having Dalaran neutral, but nobody seemed to be triggered by that.
Because at least in the lore it shows you that they aknowlodge the fact that its not entirely neutral.
You are more than 10y late, where were you when Dalaran became neutral?
I think like 11 or 12 years old at the time. In retrospect also a bad idea as well. Was happy to see the Kirin Tor come back to the Alliance MoP-WoD but I could kinda tell that was never going to last.
Yes, the harm was already done too much sadly, and then you will have a lot of people telling you that Woltk was awesome and that āits fine to have Dalaran Neutral omg i love Dadgar! I play orc!ā lmao =p
I think its the āgameplay vs loreā case here, for you the way that matter is gameplay, but in lore its not neutral.
but I suspect Blizzard have yet to learn that one as well ā¦
